I have a very challenging 4 year old, and I'm finding it very hard to get through these days.

I ended up taking cortef, a medicine that supplemented the cortisol that my adrenals should have been making. I tried herbs and such for several years but I just didn't get the results I needed until I got on the medicine. I was on it for about 9 months, actually during the entire pregnancy of my third child.Caroline @ The Modest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123409892782508684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-75164878200379802852011-12-15T15:43:39.249-06:002011-12-15T15:43:39.249-06:00How has your Adrenal Fatigue been treated?

I love my children very much and hope to have many more. I have to say that adding number 3 to our family has been the hardest. She spits up alot(acid reflux).

This post was very timely as I am having a very hard day physically.

Thank you for reminding me that it is something that takes a long time to heal. :) I feel so much better after a year, that I forget to patiently take care of myself while taking care of my family. <br /><br />The one thing that I so poignantly learned through those years of fatigue and my autonomic system shutting down was the God is my strength. He gives me just what I need for just that moment. It taught me to depend 100% upon Him. And He always provided what I needed at just the right moment. His name is to be praised. :)Terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-51728497853196315302011-12-15T11:22:05.176-06:002011-12-15T11:22:05.176-06:00Thank you for the post.

The Lord healed me of the health issues (every symptom, including exteme fatigue, disappeared in a matter of a few days!), but I had to battle through the depression (by the grace of God, it is now gone too). <br /><br />Motherhood is NOT always easy. In fact, it is seldom if ever "easy". But it is always worth it! And we are truly never alone, not even in the darkest battles.<br /><br />Thanks so much for posting this. I'm going to share your link with a few mama friends who are going through a dark season right now. It is so encouraging to hear from someone else who has "been there"... and overcome with the Lord's help!Joyful Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454655574601473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46042966286263963.post-89646480741471022002011-12-15T09:44:48.997-06:002011-12-15T09:44:48.997-06:00Thank you.

It is really amazing to recognize our weakness, it hurts some and it is humbling BUT so rewarding to allow GOD's power work through you. I had to focus on loving my kids and making sure they were fed and happy putting the other thing on hold until I was able to do more! Today I got to start my medicine again...I am happy for that but greatful for God's love, strength and grace! Mommy's don't give up, rest in him and give it to GOD!

I was 20 when our oldest was born and our 2nd was born about 1 month before she turned two (on my 22nd birthday actually). I went through the same thing..but I have heard that adding the 2nd child is actually harder than adding a 3rd or 4th. We are enjoying our days now and hoping to add another one!
